God Of Love set to follow up
A useful sort on the level for Ger Lyons, but now in the care of Philip Rothwell, he has taken well to the jumping game and will be seeking a second success in three outings over flights.
The four-year-old made a good start at Punchestown when splitting Jewel Of The West, a winner again in the meantime, and Kevkat.
He then made no mistake with a smooth victory in a much weaker race at Tipperary and can prove too strong for Pillar Of Hercules, even if that horse has 5lbs in hand on official figures.
A year ago Eddie Harty landed the Dawn Omega Milk Maiden with subsequent Cheltenham hero, Captain Cee Bee, and can take the contest again with Siege Of Ennis.
He has often disappointed on the flat, but has shown plenty of improvement over hurdles and should be capable of finally enjoying a turn.
Indeed, the selection didnât perform at all badly on the level last time when third in a handicap behind Merveilles and Balakan at Leopardstown.
Tony Martinâs Stage Manager is the one to beat in the Dawn Milk Run Handicap Hurdle.
He improved throughout last season and indicated there was more to come when returning on the flat at Leopardstown last month, finishing a neck and the same third behind Queen Althea and Power Of Future.
Pat Flynnâs Connyella, who came home well when beaten half a length by Mt Weather over six furlongs at Naas last week, should go close in the Dawn Flavoured Milk Handicap.
